Côté Bastide

This is one shop I dream of visiting in Paris, France♥

I think no explanation needed.

Just look at the photos below.

CôTÉ BASTIDE

HOME, BATH & BODY FROM FRANCE

All the bright-eyed excitement in a child's expression. The soft caress of a bath towel. The pleasant shock of cool water in the morning. Côté Bastide springs from these intimate emotions to transform them into a unique collection that changes everyday experiences into a sheer delight. Like the best enterprises, Côté Bastide comes straight from the heart with only one ambition - the revive for the benefit of comtemporary tastes the objects, fragrances and sensations that filled the homes of yesteryear which are so lacking from our modern lives.

In 1990, Nicole Houques decided to create the Cote Bastide brand by translating through her products her personal emotions and feelings. She favors simplicity in her bath products. Nicole Houques found her inspiration within herself throughout her voyages. The sweetness of her memories and images of her childhood inspired her to create modern pieces accented by tradition. Year in and year out, Cote Bastide seems to offer a deja vu quality. This is because the Cote Bastide house is lived in and has a genuine family character that, in a sense, we all share.

Côté Bastide distills the essence of enjoyment of life, its products are an evocation of quite mornings in the country, of travels of myriad memories, gentleness and freshness, and above all of Provence whose spirit and sunshine illuminate little cameos of life and lend Côté Bastide creations their special charm.

My knees go weak whenever I see things like this: all things white, crisp and clean.

Kate Hudson expressed her love for Côté Bastide candles!
